The logistical details are that Walter Koenig will be the best man and Nichelle Nichols will be the matron of honor, but I particularly liked this part of the story:

Takei hopes the ceremony will be more romantic than his proposal.

He explains, "We knew that the Supreme Court was going to be coming down with their ruling. (We'd heard) that it was probably going to be positive. So I was planning on asking Brad to get married.

"We were at home in the kitchen and we had the TV going, and when the word came down suddenly Brad got on his knees in front of me. And I said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'George, will you marry me?' I said 'Yes. You beat me to it. I meant to ask you.'"

yay! Honestly, 4 years ago, I felt somewhat annoyed, and guilty that I was able to marry Cypher becuase he is a man, (and, I am a woman...) and, it irked me mightily that had I wanted to marry my former lover of a 6 year relationship, I could not have. Feh.This is the bestest newes... and hurray for George!

Jon Carroll had a column recently about how if you think about it, same-sex couples wanting to get married is about the most conservative position you can think of. "We want marriage! and stability! and families! and to be with each other in the old age home! and to have grandkids!" Ooh, yeah, that's radical... not.
